Helpful Score: 4


I found this story to be dull and slow-moving. I was disappointed with the lack of character development and the back story of the cataclysmic event. I also found I could skim large paragraphs without missing any part of the story. There are no chapters and the dialogue is without punctuation, so it would get confusing on who was doing the speaking. All and all I was bored.
